In hornets there seems to be about
equal favor bestowed upon the rough
straw braids in fancy colors and the
Milan braids, the former being more
frequently selected by ladies of taste
more Or less gay and the latter by
ladies' who dress in q manner less pro-
nounced and in graver colors.
Very charming little bonnets are OF
the rough braids, in several striking
colors, trimmed with ribbons of the
different colors in the braid, though
there is shown an inclination, for the
moment. to vary ribbon trimmings by
the use of velvet, the garni,ure Of the
bonnet consisting of deep upright
loops, or drapery bows Of velvet in
two %colors, y vivid color relieving u
dark color, this trimming secured in
place by skewers Of ~cellnloid in imita-
ton of horn or of tortoise shell, or
mother of-pearl skewcrs, IL supple
mented by a pair of birds wings or a
cluster of velvet blossoms branched
a few leaves.
A model in illustration, Of rough
straw braid, in which II dark shade of
hcliotrope, golden brown and green
are introduced, is faced with velvet of
the heliotrope color, the velvet carried
back over the coronet brim, and this
overlaid by a band of bead passsmen-
terie of the colors in the braid. trimmed
with a kerchief of embroidered golden
brown Grape lisse disposed in shell-like
arrangements, in which is set a bow Of
the velvet, held by n pair Of mock she'll
skewcrs and furnished with a folded
band Of velvet passing around the base
Of the crown forming a bride, which is
confined under a bow at the left side oil

of rough braid. in paler shades of
brown and helio,rope color, has II

formed Of a puff Of pale golden brown
velvet, and the trimming bows Of
brown and heliotrope purl-edged faille
Franchise ribbons placed quite fatty

braid, a twist of dark brown velvet

Velvet bows in two colors trim also
the serviceable little bonnets of Milan
braid, the bow secured by skcwers or
fancy pins, or supplemented, as We
have said, by n bunch of small flowers
or of small fruit; but ribbon is more
frequently employed and generally Of
u single color.

with a bow of long loops of No. 90

touch of brightness being giving by a
